We Mean Business statement on a Net-Zero target for the UK

A statement from the We Mean Business Coalition calling for the UK government to establish a legal net-zero emissions goal, noting that participating companies have set their own targets to ensure long-term sustainability and profitability.

• The We Mean Business Coalition encourages the UK government to create a binding national net-zero emissions target to reflect commitments made at COP21 in Paris.
• Participating companies have committed to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction or renewable energy targets consistent with the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global temperature increases to well below 2 °C.
• The coalition argues that adopting these targets is driven by business logic, specifically to protect long-term profitability and sustainability.
